The XRP Ledger (XRPL) validated 3,254 transactions in ledger 106,965,249 on Sept. 13, giving the network a high-count mainnet result with a highly concentrated workload.The ledger closed at 20:51:50 UTC, with 20 submitting accounts supplying 2,000 successful one-drop XRP payments, with each account submitting exactly 100 payments.
